Salt

from Great Bad Movies

What if your entire life was a lie, but also you're really good at parkour? Salt is a movie four years ahead of its time and about eleven different cuts ahead of Greg and Joe truly understanding it. They discuss how this spy thriller delivers John Wick-level action sequences but with a plot that requires an advanced degree in, I don't know, something. Is Evelyn Salt (Angelina Jolie) a loyal CIA agent? A Russian sleeper agent? Both? Neither? The answer is yes—and also no.Join them as they debate the critical clues in this film, like how a half-eaten sandwich and an overturned chair are obvious signs of kidnapping, why a German arachnologist is the perfect husband for a spy, and how Angelina Jolie maintains perfect hair after dyeing it black in a sink. They marvel at the 17-minute escape sequence, attempt to understand Liev Schreiber's motivations, and confirm that spider venom is a totally normal thing to just have on hand.As with every episode, this is the love letter that needed to happen about this movie.
